This state government entity serves as Georgia's primary agency for aging services.
The funding will enhance and improve the state's coordinated systems of adult protective services for older adults and adults with disabilities. Key services provided include investigating reports of abuse and exploitation, offering temporary safe havens for vulnerable adults, and connecting victims to critical support services. The objective is to protect vulnerable populations from harm and ensure their safety and well-being through coordinated intervention and response. The department may sub-award portions of the federal funding to regional commissions, area agencies on aging, and local non-profit organizations across Georgia to facilitate service delivery at the local level.
